I too am a bulk buyer of Slim pasta and rice. Don't forget the 4g of fibre per 100g product, which in my strictly carb deprived diet is invaluable.
Yes, and I bet you are lucky enough to be able to cope with more than my <20g daily carbs. There are indeed so many things that are delicious and low carb, and that I can't afford to eat in any quantity. Something to fill me up and not raise my bg is a life-saver.
There is a big, worrying question mark as to whether eating much tofu is healthy for older people. Two big research studies on older Japanese people in Hawaii who regularly ate tofu found an alarming rise in the rates of developing Alzheimers. At that point I was eating tofu every day, but I gave it up (with great difficulty) instantly.
You only need to get someone else to do the rinsing, as the smell is in the liquid the pasta is stored in. They don't need cooking at all, just draining after the rinsing and then warming. In fact heating for too long might ruin the texture (such as it is!)
True about the slim range but Holland and B have got Slim rice at half price today £1.29
Indeed, and all the range is currently half price, but that offer ends soon. I have already ordered a huge boxful online and as I paid £40+ I got not only free delivery but £5 off as well. Now I just have to hope no-one discovers that Slim rice / pasta is terribly bad for us.
Bluetit, I get to the end of a meal and I am HUNGRY!!! So I could add more carbs - and spike my bg. Or I could add more protein - and raise my bg more slowly. Or I could eat more fat - and feel sick. Or I could add some some Slim pasta to my meal and feel fuller, and also help my throughput with 4g of fibre. IMO it's no contest!
True but sometimes I like pretend slim rice than pretend cauli rice. I like the empty konjac noodles too, not sure if Oomi noodles have any nutritional value but I like them as a carrier of juicy stuff and I do courgetti and mooli.
In any case, cauli rice contains more carbs than I can tolerate. And grinding foods down small moves them up the glycaemic index. And, I agree, it's very important to find ways of varying our somewhat limited cuisine. After all, diabetes is, IMO, for life and not just for Christmas.True but sometimes I like pretend slim rice than pretend cauli rice.

To tell you the truth, before I almost never ate pasta or rice and very little bread, but now I can't fill up on fruit or even vegetables, so other foods have gained a new importance for me. And I too do miss rice puddings. In fact, I have wondered about using Slim rice plus melted butter plus cream with cinnamon and nutmeg to fudge up a sort of rice pudding.Perhaps I'm biased because I have never liked pasta or savoury rice (rice puddings were a different matter
Do all fats make you sick @Alexandra100 ? That is a shame.
